I lost one of my Tx Mt. Laurel's after the 'Snowpocalypse/freeze' 2 years ago, but the remaining one, that struggled to survive, on the opposite side of my front sidewalk, finally bloomed again this year. Love the blooms, the scent, and only wish they bloomed for a longer period.

I have never grown one from seed, so my hat's off to you on that success. Yours is lovely! Tried several times but those darn seeds are just so hard I can never prick then too well without splitting the seed in half. Guess I never pricked one deep enough to germinate or thought it was a fail and tired of waiting for anything to happen. @chris1948 Can you please share on how you went about scarifying those pretty red "rocks" to get successful germination?
